Vortech leaking green oil? HELP
I noticed a leak today and thought it was coolant due to its green color. Upon inspecting it I noticed that it smelled like motor oil. It seems to be coming from underneath the supercharger itself. I'm left feeling confused cause it looks like coolant but smells like oil. Can someone please shed some light on this. What really sucks is that I'm stuck at work till tomorrow morning , so I can't make any repairs on it till then.

There is no smoke coming from the exhaust. The only thing going on is a flourescent green oil dripping from underneath the supercharger. I use Mobil1 0W40 incase your're wondering. Is there a different type of oil with in the blower itself with the exception of the motor oil?

I think it may be the a/c. When I look at the oil feed line I see that it runs along side the aluminum a/c line, and that is where the oil seems to be coming from. I even saw the neon green oil bubbling up in that spot. I hope this is not going to be expensive to fix.

It's the aluminum hose that runs under the blower and into the brakefluid compartment. It has a black cap with the letter H on it. I guess that's a high pressure hose. I'm going to see if I can have an A/c shop reroute this hose to prevent this from happening again.

Here is the update. My oil feed line was lying up against the A/C line. The heat from the feed line began to melt the A/C line leaving the imprint of the braided line. This caused a very very tiny hole. So I rerouted the feed line away from the a/c line, and now I need to take it back to the A/C shop tomorrow for a spot weld. I had to take the air filter off so he can reach the spot (what a PIA this turned out to be). I hope this will be the last of it. Thank god it wasn't my blower. Thanks everyone for you input.
